The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.fDo not exceed the permitted maximum speed for the tires fitted to the vehicle.fEnsure that the tires are set to the correct inflation pressure.fObserve the maximum load for the vehicle.
Tire pressures
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure increases risk of a tire failure and resulting loss of control. Furthermore, low tire pressure increases rate of wear of the affected tires and causes damage. fAlways use an accurate tire pressure gauge when checking inflation pressures.fDo not exceed the maximum tire pressure listed on the tire sidewall. (Also refer to “Technical data”).fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE PLATE” on page 247.fCold tire inflation pressure means: all tires must be cold, ambient temperature maximum 68 °F (20 °C), when adjusting the inflation pressure. Avoid sunlight striking the tires before measuring cold pressures, since the pressures would rise from temperature influence.fValve caps protect the valve from dust and dirt, and thus from leakage. Always screw caps tightly down. Replace missing caps immediately.
fUse only plastic valve caps.fFor safety reasons, don't use tire inflating bottles.
fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR COLD TIRES (68 °F/ 20 °C)” on page 287.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure tell-tale.
For further information on the tire pressure monitoring:fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE MENU (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, TPMS)” on page 105.
When tires are warm, the tire pressure is increased.fNever let air out of hot tires. This could cause the tire pressure to fall below the prescribed value.
Insufficient tire pressure can cause tires to over- heat and thus be damaged – even invisibly. Hidden tire damage is not eliminated by subsequently correcting the tire pressure.
Overloading
Overloading can lead to dangerous vehicle reactions and long braking distances.fDo not overload your vehicle. Be careful about the roof load. fIf you plan to load the vehicle, first correct the tire pressure. Tire pressure for loaded vehicle can be found on the tire pressure plate and in the chapter technical data.fNever exceed the specified axle load.

Tire replacements
fUse only tire makes and types tested by Porsche.
If you do not use a Porsche recommended replacement tire, make sure that you purchase your new tires from a reputable tire dealer and that the dealer complies with all manufacturers warnings for those tires.
Only tires with the same manufacturer and with the same specification code (e.g. “N0”, “N1”…) should be mounted on the vehicle.
Before mounting new tires, check with your Porsche dealer about the current release status.
Use tires with “ZR” quality standards. There are currently no standards concerning tire strength at speeds above 150 mph (240 km/h).
Tires should be replaced no less than on one axle at the time. Only tires of the same make and type must be used. Mixed tires are not permissible and will affect vehicle performance, safety, and can affect vehicle warranty.
Porsche dealers can recommend the most current replacement tire options for your vehicle.
Initially, new tires do not have their full traction. You should therefore drive at moderate speeds during the first 60 - 120 miles (100 - 200 km).
Tires must always remain on the same side of the vehicle.When wheels are removed, the direction of rotation and position of each wheel should be marked.
If new tires are installed only on one axle, a noticeable change in handling occurs due to the different tread depth of the other tires. This happens especially if only rear tires are replaced. However, this condition disappears as the new tires are broken in.fPlease adjust your driving style accordingly.
Installation of new tires should only be done by a qualified tire technician.
Valves
fUse only plastic valve caps.fPlease read the fitting and replacement instructions regarding metal valves.fUse original Porsche metal valves only.fValve inserts with valve caps protect against soiling.Soiled valve inserts can cause a gradual loss of air.
Parking at the curb
Hard impacts against curbs (or traffic islands) are dangerous and may cause hidden tire damage which is not noticeable until later. Such damage can result in accidents at high speeds. Depending on the force of impact, the edge of the rim can also be damaged.fAfter such an impact, have the wheel checked by an expert.fIf you must drive over a curb or other obstacle, drive slowly and at an obtuse angle. Exercise care when parking along curbs.
Information
Tire repairs are not permissible under any circumstances.

The standard tires profile and rubber mixture are optimized for wet and dry driving conditions, and may not prove favorable for snow conditions.fInstall snow tires before driving in such conditions.
Risk of insufficient road grip leading to loss of control and damage to the vehicle.
The standard tires profile and rubber mixture are optimized for wet and dry driving conditions, and may not prove favorable for snow conditions.fInstall snow tires before driving in such conditions.
Before mounting snow tires, consult with your Porsche dealer. They have the technical information necessary to advise you on wheel and tire compatibility.fSnow tires should have the same load capacity as original equipment tires and should be mounted on all four wheels.
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure increases risk of a tire failure and resulting loss of control. Furthermore, low tire pressure increases the rate of wear of the affected tires and causes damage.
Tires with badly worn treads are very dangerous and could cause accidents.fMake sure they are replaced immediately.fDo not exceed the snow tire speed rating.
Snow tires do not have the same degree of traction on dry, wet or snowfree roads as normal tires. Furthermore, snow tires wear rapidly under these conditions.
Information
We recommend that you fit snow tires on the vehicle at temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C) since the driving performance of summer tires is reduced at low temperatures and a lower level of comfort can also be expected. For example, juddering noises caused by the tires can occur while maneuvering the vehicle or accelerating out of bends on both dry and wet road surfaces.Extremely low temperatures of below 5 °F (-15 °C) can cause permanent damage to summer tires.
Snow tires lose their suitability when their tread depth falls below 5/32 in. (4 mm).
Comply with all state and local laws governing snow tire and tread depth requirements.
Exceeding the maximum permitted speed for the tires fitted could cause tire failure.fAlways check the maximum speed rating on the tire sidewall on any tire on the vehicle.fNever exceed the maximum speed rating of the tires.
Wheel change
fWhen wheels are removed, mark the direction of rotation and position of each wheel.Example: FR (front right), FL, RR and RL.fAlways fit the wheels in accordance with the markings.
Snow chains
Risk of damage to body, axle or brake components.fFit snow chains only to the rear wheels, and only with the tire/rim combination listed in the Technical Data.fUse only the fine-link snow chains recommended and authorized by Porsche so that sufficient clearance between the wheel well and the chain is assured.fPlease see the chapter “WHEELS, TIRES” on page 286.fFollow instructions issued by the supplier of the chains.
